Problems about Reducing Students' Heavy Burden
Nowadays, students' heavy burden makes them so nervous that it does harm to their health. It is not difficult to find out too many problems appearing in our society; some students give up studying, even kill themselves. Some other students go to kill their parents or their teachers because they can't bear any more。
The factors that lead to students' heavy burden are the following three: firstly, it is because of educational system. Such system forces students to learn too much complex but useless information. Secondly, schools only quest for higher rate of entering schools. In order to get higher rate, schools try their best to do more training so that students can't have their spare time. Thirdly, parents have good wishes. Parents do not want their children to fail in the future competition. They have no other way but to send their children to attend more training。
It becomes urgent to reduce students' heavy burden now. In my own opinion, it is important to change the educational system into high quality education system, to reduce the content of the training, to change the way of evaluating education quality, to change parents and society's attitude towards talents. All these are the basic ways that help reduce students' heavy burden。
